James Allen Bruno pleaded guilty to the third‑degree felony offense of evading arrest or detention with a vehicle and the court reset the case for sentencing after ordering pre‑sentencing procedures and conditions for release. The judge reduced Bruno’s bond to $1,000 and required that Bruno wear a GPS monitoring device if he bonds out.

Why it matters: GPS monitoring is a bond condition intended to ensure court appearance and public safety while allowing release on a reduced bond; it is a regular tool courts use to manage flight risk and compliance before sentencing.

Bruno told the court he understood the plea and the consequences; the prosecutor and defense counsel confirmed the plea agreement called for a six‑year deferred adjudication probation with a $1,000 fine pending the pre‑sentence investigation. The judge emphasized that if Bruno bonds out, he must report first to probation and complete the pre‑sentence interview and ordered that any new arrest could jeopardize acceptance of the plea agreement.

Court action: The judge reduced bond to $1,000, ordered GPS monitoring to be fitted at the jail before release, and required Bruno to report to the probation office immediately on release to initiate the pre‑sentence process. The court continued the case for sentencing and warned that noncompliance or new offenses may lead to revocation or rejection of the plea agreement.
